I'm new to these machines and recently bought my first. I went Can Am and the dealer said they sell more glass windshields with wiper/washer than anything else. I went that route and love it. Can Am doesn't offer the wiper/washer except on the glass windshield which doesn't tilt or have vents so is pretty hot right now.
I knew from the start I'd want something different for summer and was thinking half windshield. After looking at all the Can Am and aftermarket options (vented, hinged, tilting, half windshield, etc.), I wasn't finding what I thought I wanted. Then I stumbled on a mesh windscreen by Rogue Powersports and it seemed to me to be the best solution for hot weather considering I'm already covered for cooler weather.
https://www.roguepowersports.comIt arrived yesterday and will go on Saturday - anxious to see how it works. Supposedly protects from rocks, sticks, mud clods, bugs in the face, etc. but allows airflow as if no windshield. Dust collects on screen without affecting visibility and wipes off without scratching like plastic, and mud clods get flicked off. Visibility doesn't deteriorate from sun glare as it gets dirty like glass or plastic. Overall makes a lot of sense to me...
